Tech?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111732743","media":"Oilprice","summary":"Many investors are already aware of the fact that China is the world's most dominant player in the s","content":"<p>Many investors are already aware of the fact that China is the world's most dominant player in the solar and clean energy sector. 8 out of 10 biggest manufacturers of solar equipment are Chinese with<b>First Solar</b>(NASDAQ:FSLR) and<b>SunPower</b>(NASDAQ:SPWR) the only American representatives among the elite.It's not for lack of trying, though—Silicon Valley pumped tens of billions of dollars in clean energy ventures during the first wave of the renewable energy transition that started halfway through the first decade of the new millennium.</p>\n<p>Yet, Clean tech 1.0 was a disaster, a fact that still lingers like a bruise on the amygdala of investors from a decade and a half ago.</p>\n<p>According to PwC, of the $25 billion invested by venture capitalists in the clean-tech sector between 2006 and 2011, about half got wiped out. Disappointed by the dismal returns, VCs diverted their attention to app developers, software, and artificial intelligence (AI), which promised bigger returns without demanding huge infusions of capital.</p>\n<p>In sharp contrast, China has been hugely successful in scaling up solar power and driving huge cost reductions in wind energy and EV batteries.</p>\n<p>Which makes this year's clean energy selloff all the more seem like<i>déjà vu.</i></p>\n<p>After a massive runup over the past two years, the clean energy sector is going through a correction with the sector's most popular benchmark,<b>iShares Global Clean Energy ETF</b>(ICLN), down 20.4% in the year-to-date while its solar peer<b>Invesco Solar Portfolio ETF</b>(TAN) is down 17.1% over the timeframe.</p>\n<p>But make no mistake about it: Clean tech 2.0 is a one-way street with no chance of turning back. After all, it's got a lot more going for it, including pressing climate goals, much stronger government support, much stronger backing by Silicon Valley, and thousands of useful lessons gleaned from Clean tech 1.0.</p>\n<p>As Andrew Beebe, managing director at San Francisco-based Obvious Ventures, has succinctly put it:</p>\n<p><i>\"I really don't believe there's a pathway where we look back and say, 'Oh clean tech 2.0 didn't work.' That will not happen--this transition, the road we're on, is a one-way street. We don't go back to gasoline vehicles, we're not going to go back to coal plants; we're not going to go back to dirty air and unhealthy living conditions if we have the choice. What we've learnt in the last decade is, we have a choice in virtually every category</i>.\"</p>\n<p>But as this year's correction proves, this is by no means going to be a walk in the park.</p>\n<p><b>China's success</b></p>\n<p>With Beijing's backing, China's clean energy entrepreneurs were able to scale rapidly with solar energy recording an 80% cost reduction over the past decade. A surge in production in China was responsible for pushing down the price of polysilicon—a key raw material used in solar panels.</p>\n<p>This lessened the demand for innovative technologies backed by U.S. venture capital evaporated. To make matters worse, U.S. investors shot themselves in the foot thanks to Silicon Valley's \"moon shot\" approach of hunting for big breakthroughs rather than focusing on smaller, incremental advancements.</p>\n<p>The result: the majority of the first American solar startups went under because they were unable to compete with China. Almost all the Silicon Valley-backed startups folded, with a handful such as solar startup MiaSolé and battery startup A123 Systems bought by Chinese companies.</p>\n<p><b>Learning from China</b></p>\n<p>But, finally, Silicon Valley is getting its act together.</p>\n<p>Whereas Silicon Valley had little to do with solar energy becoming the cheapest form of energy in the world, China's success in scaling up solar power as well as cost reductions in wind energy and EV batteries have provided it with a blueprint, laying the groundwork for a new wave of investment in clean energy startups.</p>\n<p>First off, Silicon Valley has thrown its full weight behind the sector and the massive ESG boom.</p>\n<p>The failure of Clean tech 1.0 was not so much due to technical problems but rather a lack of financing options. Luckily, Clean tech 2.0 is enjoying a much greater variety of capital options available, including blank check companies, aka special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs).</p>\n<p>SPACs act as an alternative to the traditional IPO process. SPAC IPOs have truly exploded over the past few years, with more than 220 SPAC IPOs recorded over the past 12 months with gross proceeds exceeding $74B compared to $13.6B in gross proceeds just a year prior.

Disappointed by the dismal returns, VCs diverted their attention to app developers, software, and artificial intelligence (AI), which promised bigger returns without demanding huge infusions of capital.\nIn sharp contrast, China has been hugely successful in scaling up solar power and driving huge cost reductions in wind energy and EV batteries.\nWhich makes this year's clean energy selloff all the more seem likedéjà vu.\nAfter a massive runup over the past two years, the clean energy sector is going through a correction with the sector's most popular benchmark,iShares Global Clean Energy ETF(ICLN), down 20.4% in the year-to-date while its solar peerInvesco Solar Portfolio ETF(TAN) is down 17.1% over the timeframe.\nBut make no mistake about it: Clean tech 2.0 is a one-way street with no chance of turning back. After all, it's got a lot more going for it, including pressing climate goals, much stronger government support, much stronger backing by Silicon Valley, and thousands of useful lessons gleaned from Clean tech 1.0.\nAs Andrew Beebe, managing director at San Francisco-based Obvious Ventures, has succinctly put it:\n\"I really don't believe there's a pathway where we look back and say, 'Oh clean tech 2.0 didn't work.' That will not happen--this transition, the road we're on, is a one-way street. We don't go back to gasoline vehicles, we're not going to go back to coal plants; we're not going to go back to dirty air and unhealthy living conditions if we have the choice. What we've learnt in the last decade is, we have a choice in virtually every category.\"\nBut as this year's correction proves, this is by no means going to be a walk in the park.\nChina's success\nWith Beijing's backing, China's clean energy entrepreneurs were able to scale rapidly with solar energy recording an 80% cost reduction over the past decade. A surge in production in China was responsible for pushing down the price of polysilicon—a key raw material used in solar panels.\nThis lessened the demand for innovative technologies backed by U.S. venture capital evaporated. To make matters worse, U.S. investors shot themselves in the foot thanks to Silicon Valley's \"moon shot\" approach of hunting for big breakthroughs rather than focusing on smaller, incremental advancements.\nThe result: the majority of the first American solar startups went under because they were unable to compete with China. Almost all the Silicon Valley-backed startups folded, with a handful such as solar startup MiaSolé and battery startup A123 Systems bought by Chinese companies.\nLearning from China\nBut, finally, Silicon Valley is getting its act together.\nWhereas Silicon Valley had little to do with solar energy becoming the cheapest form of energy in the world, China's success in scaling up solar power as well as cost reductions in wind energy and EV batteries have provided it with a blueprint, laying the groundwork for a new wave of investment in clean energy startups.\nFirst off, Silicon Valley has thrown its full weight behind the sector and the massive ESG boom.\nThe failure of Clean tech 1.0 was not so much due to technical problems but rather a lack of financing options. Luckily, Clean tech 2.0 is enjoying a much greater variety of capital options available, including blank check companies, aka special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs).\nSPACs act as an alternative to the traditional IPO process. SPAC IPOs have truly exploded over the past few years, with more than 220 SPAC IPOs recorded over the past 12 months with gross proceeds exceeding $74B compared to $13.6B in gross proceeds just a year prior. In fact, we now have a SPAC ETF—SPAC and New Issue ETF(NYSE:SPCX), the first actively managed fund dedicated to the asset class, which was launched last year. Last year saw 40 climate-related companies merging with SPACs, including electric vehicle battery startupQuantumScape, which was backed byBreakthrough Energy Ventures—a $2 billion fund by Silicon Valley tech heavyweights includingMicrosoft Inc.(NASDAQ:MSFT) andAmazon Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN) that invests in promising clean energy startups. QuantumScape is currently valued at $21 billion.\nPart of the appeal is that SPACs not only provide an avenue for early-stage investors to exit their positions but also enables startups to raise more money so they can scale-up production.\nSPAC-mania is a real thing: Just a month ago, Brazilian iron ore minerVale S.E.(NYSE: VALE) invested in one of its startups, Boston Metal, a startup that aims to produce low-carbon steel.\nFurther, VCs have become a lot more demanding, with Breakthrough Energy only investing in startups that have the potential to remove 500m tonnes of greenhouse gases a year from the atmosphere—about 1% of the planet's annual output.\nBut ultimately, the biggest reason why everybody wants a piece of clean energy is simple: Returns are higher.\nCompanies supporting decarbonization have clearly been outperforming their more conservative peers.\nSource: The Financial Times\nGovernment support\nThe renewable energy sector has yet another powerful ally: Governments committing to climate goals.\nFor instance, the U.S. solar sector now has the full backing of the government.\nA few days ago, the Biden administration set a goal tocut the cost of solar energy by 60%over the next decade.\nSpecifically, the Department of Energy (DoE) wants to lower utility-scale solar energy's current cost of 4.6 cents per kwh to 3 cents by 2025 then to 2 cents by 2030. DoE also aims to have the U.S. power grid to run entirely on clean energy within 15 years, meaning solar energy will need to be installed 5x faster than the current rate.\nThe DoE has committed to spending $128M on technologies including perovskite solar cells and more novel technologies such as cadmium telluride and concentrating solar technologies.\nUltimately, developing any technology from the lab into a low-cost, mass-market product with the potential to lower global emissions is not only incredibly hard but frequently requires long lead times. However, Wall Street is saying this time it's different because entrepreneurs have a better understanding of what it takes and are also backed by deep-pocketed corporate investors looking to decarbonize their operations as well as friendly governments.\nIt's a one-way street that investors will have to travel.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":352758076,"gmtCreate":1617007208395,"gmtModify":1631891017040,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"2b4b2774","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352758076","repostId":"1119229530","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":818,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":352751276,"gmtCreate":1617007189195,"gmtModify":1631891017046,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"2b4b2774","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"GameStop hmmm&nbsp;","listText":"GameStop hmmm&nbsp;","text":"GameStop hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352751276","repostId":"2122230447","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":736,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":352751147,"gmtCreate":1617007173089,"gmtModify":1631891017050,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"2b4b2774","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What is this?","listText":"What is this?","text":"What is this?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352751147","repostId":"1141686975","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1141686975","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1616780260,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1141686975?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-27 01:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Zhihu Technology fall on its first day of trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1141686975","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Zhihu Technology shares opened at $8.02 each on Friday, about 15.6% lower than the company’s IPO pri","content":"<p>Zhihu Technology shares opened at $8.02&nbsp;each on Friday, about 15.6% lower than the company’s IPO price&nbsp;$9.5.Zhihu IPO prices at low end of the range, valuing company at about $5.3 billion.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4672a089b4ebb0a889cbfbeb32b48594\" tg-width=\"1920\" tg-height=\"959\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Zhihu Inc.&nbsp;announced Friday the pricing of its initial public offering, at $9.50 per American depositary share, which was at the low end of the expected range.

In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p><p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.</p><p>Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&amp;As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020.

Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/524d689472daad1c99491d74dfdbfe24\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Revenue Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.</p><p>Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.</p><p>In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions &amp; answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.</p><p>China's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).</p><p><b>Market Opportunities</b></p><p><b>China’s Online Content Communities Market Size</b></p><p>Online content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.</p><p>China's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.</p><p>China's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services.

equipment are Chinese with<b>First Solar</b>(NASDAQ:FSLR) and<b>SunPower</b>(NASDAQ:SPWR) the only American representatives among the elite.It's not for lack of trying, though—Silicon Valley pumped tens of billions of dollars in clean energy ventures during the first wave of the renewable energy transition that started halfway through the first decade of the new millennium.</p>\n<p>Yet, Clean

After all, it's got a lot more going for it, including pressing climate goals, much stronger government support, much stronger backing by Silicon Valley, and thousands of useful lessons gleaned from Clean tech 1.0.</p>\n<p>As Andrew Beebe, managing director at San Francisco-based Obvious Ventures, has succinctly put it:</p>\n<p><i>\"I really don't believe there's a pathway where we look back and say, 'Oh clean tech 2.0 didn't work.' That will not happen--this transition, the road we're on, is a one-way street. We don't go back to gasoline vehicles, we're not going to go back to coal plants; we're not going to go back to dirty air and unhealthy living conditions if we have the choice. What we've learnt in the last decade is, we have a choice in virtually every category</i>.\"</p>\n<p>But as this year's correction proves, this is by no means going to be a walk in the park.</p>\n<p><b>China's success</b></p>\n<p>With Beijing's backing, China's clean energy entrepreneurs were able to scale rapidly with solar energy recording an 80% cost reduction over the past decade. A surge in production in China was responsible for pushing down the price of polysilicon—a key raw material used in solar panels.</p>\n<p>This lessened the demand for innovative technologies backed by U.S. venture capital evaporated. To make matters worse, U.S. investors shot themselves in the foot thanks to Silicon Valley's \"moon shot\" approach of hunting for big breakthroughs rather than focusing on smaller, incremental advancements.</p>\n<p>The result: the majority of the first American solar startups went under because they were unable to compete with China. Almost all the Silicon Valley-backed startups folded, with a handful such as solar startup MiaSolé and battery startup A123 Systems bought by Chinese companies.</p>\n<p><b>Learning from China</b></p>\n<p>But, finally, Silicon Valley is getting its act together.</p>\n<p>Whereas Silicon Valley had little to do with solar energy becoming the cheapest form of energy in the world, China's success in scaling up solar power as well as cost reductions in wind energy and EV batteries have provided it with a blueprint, laying the groundwork for a new wave of investment in clean energy startups.</p>\n<p>First off, Silicon Valley has thrown its full weight behind the sector and the massive ESG boom.</p>\n<p>The failure of Clean tech 1.0 was not so much due to technical problems but rather a lack of financing options. Luckily, Clean tech 2.0 is enjoying a much greater variety of capital options available, including blank check companies, aka special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs).</p>\n<p>SPACs act as an alternative to the traditional IPO process. SPAC IPOs have truly exploded over the past few years, with more than 220 SPAC IPOs recorded over the past 12 months with gross proceeds exceeding $74B compared to $13.6B in gross proceeds just a year prior. In fact, we now have a SPAC ETF—SPAC and New Issue ETF(NYSE:SPCX), the first actively managed fund dedicated to the asset class, which was launched last year. Last year saw 40 climate-related companies merging with SPACs, including electric vehicle battery startup<b>QuantumScape</b>, which was backed by<b>Breakthrough Energy Ventures</b>—a $2 billion fund by Silicon Valley tech heavyweights including<b>Microsoft Inc.</b>(NASDAQ:MSFT) and<b>Amazon Inc.</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN) that invests in promising clean energy startups. QuantumScape is currently valued at $21 billion.</p>\n<p>Part of the appeal is that SPACs not only provide an avenue for early-stage investors to exit their positions but also enables startups to raise more money so they can scale-up production.</p>\n<p>SPAC-mania is a real thing: Just a month ago, Brazilian iron ore miner<b>Vale S.E.</b>(NYSE: VALE) invested in one of its startups, Boston Metal, a startup that aims to produce low-carbon steel.</p>\n<p>Further, VCs have become a lot more demanding, with Breakthrough Energy only investing in startups that have the potential to remove 500m tonnes of greenhouse gases a year from the atmosphere—about 1% of the planet's annual output.</p>\n<p>But ultimately, the biggest reason why everybody wants a piece of clean energy is simple: Returns are higher.</p>\n<p>Companies supporting decarbonization have clearly been outperforming their more conservative peers.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e47ec0de8103497166ddd9691bb4e82e\" tg-width=\"450\" tg-height=\"321\">Source: The Financial Times</p>\n<p><b>Government support</b></p>\n<p>The renewable energy sector has yet another powerful ally: Governments committing to climate goals.</p>\n<p>For instance, the U.S. solar sector now has the full backing of the government.</p>\n<p>A few days ago, the Biden administration set a goal tocut the cost of solar energy by 60%over the next decade.</p>\n<p>Specifically, the Department of Energy (DoE) wants to lower utility-scale solar energy's current cost of 4.6 cents per kwh to 3 cents by 2025 then to 2 cents by 2030. DoE also aims to have the U.S. power grid to run entirely on clean energy within 15 years, meaning solar energy will need to be installed 5x faster than the current rate.</p>\n<p>The DoE has committed to spending $128M on technologies including perovskite solar cells and more novel technologies such as cadmium telluride and concentrating solar technologies.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, developing any technology from the lab into a low-cost, mass-market product with the potential to lower global emissions is not only incredibly hard but frequently requires long lead times. However, Wall Street is saying this time it's different because entrepreneurs have a better understanding of what it takes and are also backed by deep-pocketed corporate investors looking to decarbonize their operations as well as friendly governments.</p>\n<p>It's a one-way street that investors will have to travel.</p>","source":"lsy1606109400967","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

A surge in production in China was responsible for pushing down the price of polysilicon—a key raw material used in solar panels.\nThis lessened the demand for innovative technologies backed by U.S. venture capital evaporated. To make matters worse, U.S. investors shot themselves in the foot thanks to Silicon Valley's \"moon shot\" approach of hunting for big breakthroughs rather than focusing on smaller, incremental advancements.\nThe result: the majority of the first American solar startups went under because they were unable to compete with China. Almost all the Silicon Valley-backed startups folded, with a handful such as solar startup MiaSolé and battery startup A123 Systems bought by Chinese companies.\nLearning from China\nBut, finally, Silicon Valley is getting its act together.\nWhereas Silicon Valley had little to do with solar energy becoming the cheapest form of energy in the world, China's success in scaling up solar power as well as cost reductions in wind energy and EV batteries have provided it with a blueprint, laying the groundwork for a new wave of investment in clean energy startups.\nFirst off, Silicon Valley has thrown its full weight behind the sector and the massive ESG boom.\nThe failure of Clean tech 1.0 was not so much due to technical problems but rather a lack of financing options. Luckily, Clean tech 2.0 is enjoying a much greater variety of capital options available, including blank check companies, aka special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs).\nSPACs act as an alternative to the traditional IPO process. SPAC IPOs have truly exploded over the past few years, with more than 220 SPAC IPOs recorded over the past 12 months with gross proceeds exceeding $74B compared to $13.6B in gross proceeds just a year prior. In fact, we now have a SPAC ETF—SPAC and New Issue ETF(NYSE:SPCX), the first actively managed fund dedicated to the asset class, which was launched last year. Last year saw 40 climate-related companies merging with SPACs, including electric vehicle battery startupQuantumScape, which was backed byBreakthrough Energy Ventures—a $2 billion fund by Silicon Valley tech heavyweights includingMicrosoft Inc.(NASDAQ:MSFT) andAmazon Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN) that invests in promising clean energy startups. QuantumScape is currently valued at $21 billion.\nPart of the appeal is that SPACs not only provide an avenue for early-stage investors to exit their positions but also enables startups to raise more money so they can scale-up production.\nSPAC-mania is a real thing: Just a month ago, Brazilian iron ore minerVale S.E.(NYSE: VALE) invested in one of its startups, Boston Metal, a startup that aims to produce low-carbon steel.\nFurther, VCs have become a lot more demanding, with Breakthrough Energy only investing in startups that have the potential to remove 500m tonnes of greenhouse gases a year from the atmosphere—about 1% of the planet's annual output.\nBut ultimately, the biggest reason why everybody wants a piece of clean energy is simple: Returns are higher.\nCompanies supporting decarbonization have clearly been outperforming their more conservative peers.\nSource: The Financial Times\nGovernment support\nThe renewable energy sector has yet another powerful ally: Governments committing to climate goals.\nFor instance, the U.S. solar sector now has the full backing of the government.\nA few days ago, the Biden administration set a goal tocut the cost of solar energy by 60%over the next decade.\nSpecifically, the Department of Energy (DoE) wants to lower utility-scale solar energy's current cost of 4.6 cents per kwh to 3 cents by 2025 then to 2 cents by 2030. DoE also aims to have the U.S. power grid to run entirely on clean energy within 15 years, meaning solar energy will need to be installed 5x faster than the current rate.\nThe DoE has committed to spending $128M on technologies including perovskite solar cells and more novel technologies such as cadmium telluride and concentrating solar technologies.\nUltimately, developing any technology from the lab into a low-cost, mass-market product with the potential to lower global emissions is not only incredibly hard but frequently requires long lead times. However, Wall Street is saying this time it's different because entrepreneurs have a better understanding of what it takes and are also backed by deep-pocketed corporate investors looking to decarbonize their operations as well as friendly governments.\nIt's a one-way street that investors will have to travel.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":351165078,"gmtCreate":1616576211394,"gmtModify":1631891017055,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"2b4b2774","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmm&nbsp;","listText":"Hmmm&nbsp;","text":"Hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/351165078","repostId":"1101214616","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1101214616","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616575902,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1101214616?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-24

Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.</p><p><b>Sales Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p><p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Gross Margins</b></p><p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Total Operating Expenses and Operating Margins</b></p><p>Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&amp;A and R&amp;D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c019cc86f4d4c1d9ffe15d3b4a4bfa75\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef629be32d2c34d625cb287ad648206d\" tg-width=\"757\" tg-height=\"488\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9561a02993fbc88c2cad88e68c08730\" tg-width=\"920\" tg-height=\"485\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Company Background</b></p><p>At the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p><p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.</p><p>Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&amp;As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.</p><p><b>Major Shareholders of Zhihu</b></p><p>The founder &amp; CEO&nbsp;Zhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.</p><p><b>Key Demographics</b></p><p>The diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/524d689472daad1c99491d74dfdbfe24\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Revenue Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.</p><p>Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.</p><p>In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions &amp; answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.</p><p>China's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).</p><p><b>Market Opportunities</b></p><p><b>China’s Online Content Communities Market Size</b></p><p>Online content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.</p><p>China's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.</p><p>China's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services.
